Finished portrait on top, Elizabeth II, followed by two drawings/sketches, studies from nature, by Pietro Annigoni used to work out issues for his portrait of Elizabeth II.

Sometimes when you work from life the "concept" in your mind does not work on the paper and many, many drawings die as you're working out your subject.

And then some sketches catch it--that divine connection between your mind, your subject, your maker--and the painting has the potential to be immortal.
